PROHIBITION GAIN.

Special to the Herald
WACO, Tex, July 30.--Mr. Frank
p. Cravcns, the bone and sinew Of the
Waco Examiner, the antis Of
fetal organ, publickly declared him
self for prohibition in mastery
speech at the Methodist College lawn
to-day. Mr.. Craven's is engaged in
the publication of the Waco Examin-
er, which has, up to this hour, been
tho official whisky organ of the State.
He now has the manhood to acknowl-
edge his error and stand up before an
au dience ofthree thousand peopl and
proclaim, in rhetrical strains, the
vices and debauchcry which incesantly
flow from the licensed dram shops.
lie ventilated the methods and prac-
tices adopted by the antis in this
campaign, OF which he Is so well in
formed, where happiness, prosperity
and virtue is arranged against the
saloons in struggle for alternate su-
premacy. His words fell like thun-
derbolt into the anti camps, and his
eloquent effort in behalf of civil liber-
ty guided and controlled by
law, is receiving favorable COM
ment from thousands Of happy
hearts in the city to-day, who bear
the glad news with rejoicings. The
shock given the ants by the utterance
of this great speech is simply appall-
ing aud indcscribable. Tho woe-be-
gono expression on the face of our
own dear Geo. Warwick Clark, which
will be visible tomorrow from early
sunrise until the close OF one sad day
will tell the doleful tale. The Ex-
aminer turning for prohibition in this
uncertain time is regular bumb shell
and the ants are demoralized. The
entire anti forces here are falling to
pieces in like manner and it is con-
ceedcd even by the strongest liquor
men, that prohibition will carry in
the state by an overwhelming majori-
ty. Tomorrow at II o'clock the last
great guns OF the campaign will be
fired by Carroll and Herndon respect
lively in defense of the prohibition
amendment, heavily loaded excursion
trains from all the principal cities in
the state will be here, loaded
down with people who will
come to hear two of the greatest
speeches ever delivered in Texas
Verify tomorrow will be field day
for prohibition.

To the Public,

Complaint having come to the officers OF
Prospect Hill Cemetery Association that
monuments upon that ground have been
mutilated by shooting at them, or by small
stones from slung-shot or larger ones by
hand, doubtless by boys who care little or
nothing for the damage done. The officers
who are the guardians and protectors of this
property desire to say to such boys the
names of several we already have, who are
more than suspected) that depredations of
this kind must cease at once, or steps will
surely be taken for the enforcement of the
laws against them, and that without mercy
or favor.
